Bayesian approach with hidden Markov modeling and mean field approximation for hyperspectral data analysis

The main problems in hyperspectral image analysis are spectral classification, segmentation, and data reduction. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian estimation approach which gives a joint solution for these problems. The problem is modeled as a blind sources separation (BSS). The data are M hyperspectral images and the sources are K < M images which are composed of compact homogeneous regions and have mutually disjoint supports. The set of all these regions cover the total surface of the observed scene. To insure these properties, we propose a hierarchical Markov model for the sources with a common hidden classification field which is modeled via a Potts-Markov field. The joint Bayesian estimation of the hidden variable, sources, and the mixing matrix of the BSS gives a solution for all three problems: spectra classification, segmentation, and data reduction of hyperspectral images. The mean field approximation (MFA) algorithm for the posterior laws is proposed for the effective Bayesian computation. Finally, some results of the application of the proposed methods on simulated and real data are given to illustrate the performance of the proposed method compared to other classical methods, such as PCA and ICA.

Noninvasive fetal electrocardiogram extraction: blind separation versus adaptive noise cancellation

The problem of the fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) extraction from maternal skin electrode measurements can be modeled from the perspective of blind source separation (BSS). Since no comparison between BSS techniques and other signal processing methods has been made, we compare a BSS procedure based on higher-order statistics and Widrow's multireference adaptive noise cancelling approach. As a best-case scenario for this latter method, optimal Wiener-Hopf solutions are considered. Both procedures are applied to real multichannel ECG recordings obtained from a pregnant woman. The experimental outcomes demonstrate the more robust performance of the blind technique and, in turn, verify the validity of the BSS model in this important biomedical application.

Blind signal separation of linear mixture using trilinear decomposition

This paper introduces a new source separation technique exploiting the time coherence of the source signals. The proposed approach relies only on stationary second order statistics. Blind Signal Separation (BSS) method using trilinear decomposition is proposed in this paper. Simulation results reveal that our proposed algorithm has the better blind signal separation performance than joint di-agonalization method. Our proposed algorithm does not require whitening processing. Moreover, our proposed algorithm works well in the underdetermined condition, where the number of sources exceeds than the number of sensors.     

The singular value filter: a general filter design strategy for PCA-based signal separation in medical ultrasound imaging

A general filtering method, called the singular value filter (SVF), is presented as a framework for principal component analysis (PCA) based filter design in medical ultrasound imaging. The SVF approach operates by projecting the original data onto a new set of bases determined from PCA using singular value decomposition (SVD). The shape of the SVF weighting function, which relates the singular value spectrum of the input data to the filtering coefficients assigned to each basis function, is designed in accordance with a signal model and statistical assumptions regarding the underlying source signals. In this paper, we applied SVF for the specific application of clutter artifact rejection in diagnostic ultrasound imaging. SVF was compared to a conventional PCA-based filtering technique, which we refer to as the blind source separation (BSS) method, as well as a simple frequency-based finite impulse response (FIR) filter used as a baseline for comparison. The performance of each filter was quantified in simulated lesion images as well as experimental cardiac ultrasound data. SVF was demonstrated in both simulation and experimental results, over a wide range of imaging conditions, to outperform the BSS and FIR filtering methods in terms of contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) and motion tracking performance. In experimental mouse heart data, SVF provided excellent artifact suppression with an average CNR improvement of 1.8 dB with over 40% reduction in displacement tracking error. It was further demonstrated from simulation and experimental results that SVF provided superior clutter rejection, as reflected in larger CNR values, when filtering was achieved using complex pulse-echo received data and non-binary filter coefficients.

Penalty function-based joint diagonalization approach for convolutive blind separation of nonstationary sources

A new approach for convolutive blind source separation (BSS) by explicitly exploiting the second-order nonstationarity of signals and operating in the frequency domain is proposed. The algorithm accommodates a penalty function within the cross-power spectrum-based cost function and thereby converts the separation problem into a joint diagonalization problem with unconstrained optimization. This leads to a new member of the family of joint diagonalization criteria and a modification of the search direction of the gradient-based descent algorithm. Using this approach, not only can the degenerate solution induced by a unmixing matrix and the effect of large errors within the elements of covariance matrices at low-frequency bins be automatically removed, but in addition, a unifying view to joint diagonalization with unitary or nonunitary constraint is provided. Numerical experiments are presented to verify the performance of the new method, which show that a suitable penalty function may lead the algorithm to a faster convergence and a better performance for the separation of convolved speech signals, in particular, in terms of shape preservation and amplitude ambiguity reduction, as compared with the conventional second-order based algorithms for convolutive mixtures that exploit signal nonstationarity.     

Blind Unitary Prewhitening with a Real-Valued Eigendecomposition

Prewhitening is a standard step for the processing of noisy signals. Typically, eigenvalue decomposition (EVD) of the sample data covariance matrix is used to calculate the whitening matrix. From a computational point of view, an important problem here is to reduce the complexity of the EVD of the complex-valued sample data covariance matrix. In this paper, we show that the computational complexity of the prewhitening step for complex-valued signals can be reduced approximately by a factor of four when the real-valued EVD is used instead of the complex-valued one. Such complexity reduction can be achieved for any axis-symmetric array. The performance of the proposed procedure is studied in application to a blind source separation (BSS) problem. For this application, the performance of the proposed prewhitening scheme is illustrated by means of simulations, and compared with the conventional prewhitening scheme. Among a number of BSS methods which use prewhitening, the second-order blind identification procedure has been adopted in this paper.     

MIMO-AR System Identification and Blind Source Separation for GMM-Distributed Sources

The problem of blind source separation (BSS) and system identification for multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) auto-regressive (AR) mixtures is addressed in this paper. Two new time-domain algorithms for system identification and BSS are proposed based on the Gaussian mixture model (GMM) for sources distribution. Both algorithms are based on the generalized expectation-maximization (GEM) method for joint estimation of the MIMO-AR model parameters and the GMM parameters of the sources. The first algorithm is derived under the assumption of unstructured input signal statistics, while the second algorithm incorporates the prior knowledge about the structure of the input signal statistics due to the statistically independent source assumption. These methods are tested via simulations using synthetic and audio signals. The system identification performances are tested by comparison between the state transition matrix estimation using the proposed algorithms and the well-known multidimensional Yule-Walker solution followed by an instantaneous BSS method. The results show that the proposed algorithms outperform the Yule-Walker based approach. The BSS performances were compared to other convolutive BSS methods. The results show that the proposed algorithms achieve higher signal-to-interference ratio (SIR) compared to the other tested methods.     

Blind source separation for convolutive mixtures based on the joint diagonalization of power spectral density matrices

This paper studies the problem of blind separation of convolutively mixed source signals on the basis of the joint diagonalization (JD) of power spectral density matrices (PSDMs) observed at the output of the separation system. Firstly, a general framework of JD-based blind source separation (BSS) is reviewed and summarized. Special emphasis is put on the separability conditions of sources and mixing system. Secondly, the JD-based BSS is generalized to the separation of convolutive mixtures. The definition of a time and frequency dependent characteristic matrix of sources allows us to state the conditions under which the separation of convolutive mixtures is possible. Lastly, a frequency-domain approach is proposed for convolutive mixture separation. The proposed approach exploits objective functions based on a set of PSDMs. These objective functions are defined in the frequency domain, but are jointly optimized with respect to the time-domain coefficients of the unmixing system. The local permutation ambiguity problems, which are inherent to most frequency-domain approaches, are effectively avoided with the proposed algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is valid for the separation of both simulated and real-word recorded convolutive mixtures.

On the use of simulated annealing to automatically assign decorrelated components in second-order blind source separation

In this paper, an automatic assignment tool, called BSS-AutoAssign,for artifact-related decorrelated components within a second-order blind source separation (BSS) is presented. The latter is based on the recently proposed algorithm dAMUSE, which provides an elegant solution to both the BSS and the denoising problem simultaneously. BSS-AutoAssign uses a local principal component analysis (PCA)to approximate the artifact signal and defines a suitable cost function which is optimized using simulated annealing. The algorithms dAMUSE plus BSS-AutoAssign are illustrated by applying them to the separation of water artifacts from two-dimensional nuclear overhauser enhancement (2-D NOESY)spectroscopy signals of proteins dissolved in water.
